Loo York

“Loo” reputedly comes from the French lieux d’aisances, meaning “places of ease.”

Finding a loo in New York is anything but easy…and even harder to feel at ease in.

A free map of NYC’s public restrooms

Loo York brings together nearly 1,300 public restrooms from official city data and community-sourced lists, with hours, door codes, and honest reviews in one clean map.

The official data goes stale fast. It misses unexpected closures, broken locks, and empty soap dispensers. So New Yorkers keep this map current for each other.
